I would encourage people to watch the movie of what the physical form of the raw data looks like.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNaXlK_3Fik They tested 4 trillion cells.[http://scienceblogs.com/loom/2008/06/02/a_new_step_in_evolution.php]  Assuming even a simple 'y/n' for the 'can metabolize citrate' that is about 4 terabytes of data.  This doesn't go into the other genes that they have studied.  Are you going to send him some hard drives to copy the data onto?  Do you have the bandwidth to host that data for public scrutiny (at a full T1 speed with 100% utilization, if I did my math correctly, it would take about 2 years to download all of the data)?  Granted, that is one extreme of the data but this could potentially be more than you can handle or host.  And if he says its a terrabyte of data or so, will you host it? --[[User:Rutm|Rutm]] 18:53, 17 June 2008 (EDT)
